Studying the case of Home Depot we can see the initial success quickly followed by their inability to adapt to market growing technological to a company that embraced new technology and new management information systems and now has recaptured its dominance in the marketplace. It makes me question what it was like for other home improvement stores that attempted business around the same time as Home Depot. Builders Square comes to mind.

They must have had similar inventory, supply chain, and information technology problems as Home Depot yet their outcome was not as positive as Home Depot. Could Builders Square have survived
